Uncanny County

I commute a good distance to work and have listened to many drama based podcasts. This is by far the best yet. Many stories/dramas rely far too much on gratuitous violence/language. This is different as the writing and acting is top notch. The dark humour is excellently done and not overplayed. This podcast should be winning awards! Well done!

Twilight Zone in rural America is a fun time, and there are some ingenius premises involving robots, split personalities, and other fresh takes on horror tropes. There are a few weaker episodes (sometimes the show gets a bit kitsch or zany) and the voice acting borders on hammy, but the stories are always well written and entertaining.

I have been through so many narrative horror podcasts and they all either became unneccesarily gratuitous and end up detracting from the story or come from the mind of amateur writers who take 100 words to say what could be said with 10. Not Uncanny County, this wonderful podcast is to the point, brilliantly acted and inventive and always leaves you wanting more. Has one of my favourite ever podcasts too, the clown hotel episode! outstanding!

I keep coming back to Uncanny County - it really is one of the most consistently well-produced, well written shows out there. The stories always feel fresh and new, often with old tropes that you might expect to go one way only for it to take another, completely unexpected path. The acting is without fail fantastic, from everyone involved. The theme song is one of the best ever. I could sing this podcasts praises for paragraphs, but basically, you should subscribe if you like surreal, funny, eerie stories told beautifully.
